It is difficult to write a solo for Madam Marsh without overstepping 
the bounds of good taste.  Stepping out of charactor for a moment, I 
will try.

"Magic Bus Blues" to the tune of "Wedding Bell Blues" by the Fifth 
Dimension

To Pippin, who I was shocked to learn was actually not a real life 
Hobbit ;-)


Madam Marsh sings:

Ill!  I wish this bus would just stand still.
But with a fear of heights, a broomstick's not my way.
No, and if I Floo, the ashes turn my robes all grey.
I once got a slight thrill when I was learning.
Once I got up high, well, my guts were churning.
Though I know that I don't wanna be,
I think I'm gonna be ill.

I wish this bus would just stand still.
If I could Apparate, my life would just be swell.
No, which was north and which was south, I couldn't tell.
I got stuck once in Alaska and caught pneumonia.
Then when I got home, I landed in a begonia.
And now I know I don't wanna be,
I think I'm gonna be ill.

I wish this bus would just stand still.
But it's a long, long jump from Kent to Stoatshead Hill.
I've heard the Muggles have a motion sickness pill.
I will be ill.
I will be ill.  
I know I'm gonna be ill.
I got the Magic Bus Blues.
I'm gonna be ill.
I got the Magic Bus Blues.
Gonna be ill...
